Taking an affectionate leave of the whole family individually, she manifested clear views of the heavenly glory, an unshaken hope, perfect peace, joy unspeakable and full of glory, and sweetly fell asleep in Jesus.  "If we believe that Jesus died and rose again even so them also, which sleep in Jesus, God will bring with him."  Thess. 4, 14 [Oct. 13, 1841]
